There’s a mini mitt for perfect application, and a lotion which will help even out skin tone. Great for a weekend away.

PRETTY PERFECT

Prada’s new limited-edition fragrance is one of the most addictive scents around this year. The Infusion de Rose (£68.50, Selfridges and Harrods) smells like fresh rose petals mixed with honey and crushed with mint leaves. Perfect for day and evening — and so pretty you’ll want to keep both the box and the bottle, even after you’ve used the last drop.

NICE FOR NIVEA

It seems Kate Middleton is a fan of High Street beauty products. The Duchess of Cambridge went to Boots on the Kings Road in Chelsea last week to buy Q10 Plus Night Cream (£10.20) and NIVEA Visage Pure & Naturals Moisturising Day Cream (£5.10). We predict another sell-out.
